The case of alcohol illustrates how a drug-centred model can clarify the potential therapeutic uses of drugs for psychiatric or behavioural problems. Alcohol is a sedative drug that reduces nerve conductivity in the central nervous system. Ingestion of alcohol gives rise to characteristic physiological effects, such as dilation of blood vessels, smooth...

Although there are many attempts have been made to describe road accident problem, I used to describe the problem as a disease where the causes of road accidents are symptoms as (illness). The road safety problem is a sign of illness in society. To diagnose the problem, there are direct and indirect symptoms (causes). The direct symptoms in road safety can be easily seen in society from simple observation and data such as speed problems, alcohol and driving, vehicle conditions, road user behaviour, etc. The indirect symptoms in road safety are not simply obvious and they need more checking and examination such as the traffic management, education, traffic police enforcement, legislations, etc. 

Winemaker s exposure to alcohol may create another serious problem - alcoholism. However, it has been established that low to moderate consumption of wine, defined as three to five glasses per day, is associated with lower mortality from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (Gronback et al. 

The change may be related to temporary or chronic medical issues, a partial disability, family responsibilities and/or crisis and other personal problems, alcohol or drug abuse, aging, or the employee s response to workplace changes. An analysis of this change, followed by physical and/or administrative accommodations to ensure safe continued performance, sometimes may be appropriate— for example, when an incident affects an employee s ability to function. At other times, a less formal response may be more suitable [2]. 

Cardiovascular problems—Alcohol affects the cardiovascular system by (1) causing vasodilatation of the peripheral vessels, producing flushing, heat loss, and a sense of warmth and (2) promoting vasoconstriction of the central blood vessels, producing resistance to the flow of blood, and increasing the work load on the heart. 

In a conventional gasoline containing hydrocarbons or even ethers, the presence of water is not a problem in fact, water is totally soluble up to about 50 ppm at ambient temperature. Beyond this value water separates without affecting the hydrocarbon phase and the water leg can be withdrawn if necessary. On the other hand, in the presence of alcohols (ethanol and especially methanol), trace amounts of water can cause a separation of two phases one is a mixture of water and alcohol, the other of hydrocarbons (Cox, 1979). 

Most LB-forming amphiphiles have hydrophobic tails, leaving a very hydrophobic surface. In order to introduce polarity to the final surface, one needs to incorporate bipolar components that would not normally form LB films on their own. Berg and co-workers have partly surmounted this problem with two- and three-component mixtures of fatty acids, amines, and bipolar alcohols [175, 176]. Interestingly, the type of deposition depends on the contact angle of the substrate, and, thus, when relatively polar monolayers are formed, they are deposited as Z-type multilayers. Phase-separated LB films of hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon mixtures provide selective adsorption sites for macromolecules, due to the formation of a step site at the domain boundary [177]. 

Unfortunately, in most cases not all the available information on a reaction is given in the reaction equation in a publication, and even less so in reaction databases. To obtain a fuller picture of the reaction that was performed, the text describing the experimental procedure in the publication or a lab journal) would have to be consulted. Reaction products that are considered as trivial, such as water, alcohol, ammonia, nitrogen, etc., are generally not included in the reaction equation or mentioned in the text describing the experimental work. This poses serious problems for the automatic identification of the reaction center. It is highly desirable to have the full stoichiometry of a reaction specified in the equation. 

Although many problems still remain to be overcome to make the process practical (not the least of which is the question of the corrosive nature of aqueous HBr and the minimization of formation of any higher brominated methanes), the selective conversion of methane to methyl alcohol without going through syn-gas has promise. Furthermore, the process could be operated in relatively low-capital-demand-ing plants (in contrast to syn-gas production) and in practically any location, making transportation of natural gas from less accessible locations in the form of convenient liquid methyl alcohol possible. 

For my part, although I may be somewhat of a visionary, I see a solution to the problem by chemical recycling of excess carbon dioxide emissions into methyl alcohol and derived hydrocarbon products. 

An alternative approach to this problem, providing two of the groups on the tertiaiy alcohol are the same, is to remove both in a single disconnection going back to an ester and two mols of the Grignard reagent ...

In peptide syntheses, where partial racemization of the chiral a-carbon centers is a serious problem, the application of 1-hydroxy-1 H-benzotriazole ( HBT") and DCC has been very successful in increasing yields and decreasing racemization (W. Kdnig, 1970 G.C. Windridge, 1971 H.R. Bosshard, 1973), l-(Acyloxy)-lif-benzotriazoles or l-acyl-17f-benzo-triazole 3-oxides are formed as reactive intermediates. If carboxylic or phosphoric esters are to be formed from the acids and alcohols using DCC, 4-(pyrrolidin-l -yl)pyridine ( PPY A. Hassner, 1978 K.M. Patel, 1979) and HBT are efficient catalysts even with tert-alkyl, choles-teryl, aryl, and other unreactive alcohols as well as with highly bulky or labile acids. 

The oxidation of higher alkenes in organic solvents proceeds under almost neutral conditions, and hence many functional groups such as ester or lac-tone[26,56-59], sulfonate[60], aldehyde[61-63], acetal[60], MOM ether[64], car-bobenzoxy[65], /-allylic alcohol[66], bromide[67,68], tertiary amine[69], and phenylselenide[70] can be tolerated. Partial hydrolysis of THP ether[71] and silyl ethers under certain conditions was reported. Alcohols are oxidized with Pd(II)[72-74] but the oxidation is slower than the oxidation of terminal alkenes and gives no problem when alcohols are used as solvents[75,76].

Catalyst recovery is a major operational problem because rhodium is a cosdy noble metal and every trace must be recovered for an economic process. Several methods have been patented (44—46). The catalyst is often reactivated by heating in the presence of an alcohol. In another technique, water is added to the homogeneous catalyst solution so that the rhodium compounds precipitate. Another way to separate rhodium involves a two-phase Hquid such as the immiscible mixture of octane or cyclohexane and aliphatic alcohols having 4—8 carbon atoms. In a typical instance, the carbonylation reactor is operated so the desired products and other low boiling materials are flash-distilled. The reacting mixture itself may be boiled, or a sidestream can be distilled, returning the heavy ends to the reactor. In either case, the heavier materials tend to accumulate. A part of these materials is separated, then concentrated to leave only the heaviest residues, and treated with the immiscible Hquid pair. The rhodium precipitates and is taken up in anhydride for recycling. 

Some potential problems of alcohol fuels have been addressed by a dding small amounts of gasoline or specific hydrocarbons to the fuel, reducing the flammabihty envelope and providing luminosity in case of fine.
